A:  Hello, Yes, this panel can be used in a bathroom application.

A:  I don’t think so. Unless you steamed it. 

A:  Probably no unless the round surface has a large diameter. If you are able to steam it, it might work.

A:  On the 2'x4' version, the lines run with the long dimension.

A:  The beading runs in the long direction, along the length of the panel.

A:  Sure could however it is raw so a finish is In order

A:  This could potentially be used for that application. IF you would like to discuss the project in more detail, you can call me at 336-291-5869 and we can discuss. Thank you -- Michael

A:  We do not recommend our products for exterior applications - they are meant for interior, decorative use only.

A:  Yes, but if you are going to paint it you might want to consider pine beaded plywood rather than oak. If you are doing repair, make sure you match you thickness. I used this panel in a project where I needed the smaller 1/4 inch thickness.

A:  I would never use this product outdoors. I’m sure it can be sealed but there are better products for outdoor use.

A:  I would not recommend it for outdoor use. It is MDF with Red Oak veneer.

A:  Yes

A:  yes but it would have to be glued down to keeping it from warping due to humidity. unless their is no shower in the bath room, then it would be fine.

A:  Hello Sharon, As long as it is sealed (stained or painted) and doesn't come in direct or prolonged contact with water then sure. This will look great in a bathroom. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

A:  Yes, it should work well for that purpose.

A:  I tried to use a piece of this for repair patch on a glued down floor. The moisture content of the glue caused it to warp/curl and had to be removed. It has not been treated nor does it consist of enough cross grain layers, to prevent warping like an engineered flooring board.

A:  yes this can be used for that purpose.

A:  No, the red oak part is a very thin laminate and would not hold up at all as a floor.

A:  No, the oak veneer layers are too thin and the core material is a MDF type composite. You'll need solid oak or oak laminates if you use it on the floor.

A:  Order the longer 8' item listed for this product and have the store cut it to 58"

A:  We have this available in 2ft. x 8ft. form on the product site. We can custom cut to these dimensions. If you need assistance, contact Michael at 336-291-5869 or mhale@cfpwood.com and I can walk you through the process. Thank you.

A:  I'm not sure. I stained my board.

A:  Not sure, I do know they take paint very well. They are mdf with a nice real oak veneer on both sides. I used them for kitchen cabinet door panels and they turned out very nice.

A:  Yes, the panel can be white washed.

A:  Yes. You probably need to experiment to see how the grooves will react to the whitewash.

A:  Yes, With A Little Prep Work You Can!
